Quest For Wings

So I’m writing a series on Regina’s greatest chicken wings. But with my advanced age (the square root of 39 squared)* comes my advanced humility. I know only enough to know that I know very little indeed.

For example, chicken wings. And where they are. Where are they?

I’m looking for Regina’s best chicken wing joints to review. And prairie dog readers are not only book-smart — they’re wing-smart.

Tell me, pd readers: where should I go for chicken wings? What would you like to see in my next review? If you suggest a place and I love it, you will receive a photo of me holding a chicken wing and looking pleased.

The honey garlic wings at Bushwakker taste kind of fishy (I know! Weird!) but it’s interesting to note that they use actual real garlic. Like, chunks of garlic. Maybe I am used to the fake honey garlic sauce others use?

There’s no place in town that can compare to my own chili-teryaki wings (based on an old Keg version when they still made their own scratch sauces)…nor does anyone do crispy buffalo wings properly/consistently a la Alton Brown’s recipe from the food network. Both are relatively easy however no one in town seems to realize how much extra business REALLY good wings can bring in. The Regal Begal in Calgary made a fortune just selling wings, ribs and beer when I lived there (and still do). So if you’re interested, I’ll serve you up my two versions of wings, and then you can tell me if anyone in the city comes close. And as an added bonus, I’ll be willing to offer up my recipes (moreso, technique…the recipes are easily enough found) to any restaurant that will add them to their menu (providing they are interested in scratch sauce preparation and a commitment to consistency) just so I can go somewhere for incredible wings myself! Let me know.

The greek style ones at some of the Western Pizza locations are really good. I can’t remember which locations though…. even though they all share the same basic menu they all do things a little differently.
